Jason Witten @ Giants - If you look at Jason Witten's body of work this season, he's been a solid top five fantasy tight end. That said, Witten has failed to score a touchdown since week eleven and has total 47 yards or fewer in four of his last five games. Factor in that Tony Romo will be playing with a busted hand, and you have a tough decision to make, if you've been starting Witten weekly this year. As ...

Aaron Hernandez vs. Dolphins - With Rob Gronkowski having a record-setting season, it's easy to forget that the Patriots have another talented tight end in Aaron Hernandez, but against the Broncos, it was Hernandez that had the big game. For the second time, this year Hernandez posted over 100 yards receiving and scored his first touchdown in the last six weeks. While it's unlikely that Hernandez will come ...

Owen Daniels vs. Panthers - What seemed like a death blow to Owen Daniels fantasy stock, has turned into the possible beginnings of a resurge with rookie quarterback T.J. Yates under center. Daniels tied Kevin Walter for targets with ten against he Bengals as he consistently exploited Cincinnati over the middle for most of the game, and made a few nice receptions on the teams final drive to victory. Yates r ...

Jermichael Finley vs. Raiders - Finally we saw a quality performance from Packers' tight end Jermichael Finley as the Giants allowed attempted to force Rodgers to beat them by limiting his opportunities to Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings. This is probably the best strategy to slow down the Packers, but when you have Finley, Driver and solid depth beyond that, this offense is still going to post 35 points or ...

Jermaine Gresham @ Steelers - Maybe it's easy to look past Jermaine Gresham in fantasy leagues with tight ends like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham having monster seasons, but this fellow second year tight end is starting to put together a decent year. After missing a couple of games due to injury, Gresham has come back to have no less than three receptions, and if not for a questionable (at least in my eye ...

Rob Gronkowski vs Chiefs - Hopefully, you had a chance to watch the Patriots play the Jets on Sunday night, because Rob Gronkowski had one of the better games of his, thus far, great career. With 52 receptions, 709 yards and eight touchdowns, Gronkowski is one of the top tight ends in fantasy football leagues this year and will likely continue to be for some time. When the Patriots signed Chad Ochocinco thi ...

This year, I decided to forego the draft strategy of picking a tight end in the first seven rounds. My thought process was rather simple. I didn’t trust Dallas Clark without Peyton Manning; nor did I trust Antonio Gates to stay healthy. So far, so good! Tony Gonzalez is getting up there in age which is true, but he’s still getting the job done. I didn’t expect Alex Smith to be successful so that downgraded ...

Vernon Davis vs Giants - Another disappointing season from Vernon Davis as the 49ers have been asking him to block more. Truthfully, last week could've been a nice game as Davis had a long reception down the field in his hands, but he failed to haul it in. Drops have been an issue for Davis throughout his career, but I feel like he might have a nice game this week. The Giants are coming to town and playing ...

Owen Daniels vs Browns - The Texans top tight end remains a worthy starter at his position for fantasy leagues, but Daniels is clearly losing targets to fellow tight end Joel Dreessen, who had another touchdown this week, giving him three in the Texans past four games. While Dreessen will get looks in the red zone, Daniels is the top target in this offense, until Andre Johnson comes back from his hamstring ...

Antonio Gates @ Chiefs - Gates returned to the field after the Chargers bye week to post five receptions for 54 yards and a score against the Jets defense. While this was an encouraging performance, it was also a positive that Gates came out of the game with no ill-effects to his foot and will hopefully practice later in the week. While the Chiefs defense did a great job against the Raiders last week with s ...
